With the introduction of a new robust lubricant and a diamond like carbon (DLC) film with extra thickness and smooth tape surface, the durability of the tape is dramatically increased in various environments. Therefore stringent repetitive situations such as high-speed playback, editing and rewinding will operate seamless. Smooth tape surface allows an improved short wavelength output, decreased noise and minimised spacing loss with the video head. With DVPRO for DV and HDV high output is also achieved together with high magnetic density of advanced metal evaporation that ensures long-term reliability and excellent lubricating performance, which even after repeated use maintains a low error rate. In addition to this, Maxell’s dry lubricant not only helps to prevent headwear, but also prevents head clogs and significantly extends head life. Maxell Professional DV is a superior product unsurpassed in its reliability for ENG/EFP and a wide range of other demanding operations under various environmental conditions.
